While at Sera Monastery in December 2013, Lama Zopa Rinpoche had dinner with Khensur Rinpoche Losang Tsering. Khensur Rinpoche offered a long life statue to Rinpoche and thanked him for all his kindness to the monks of Sera Je.

When Khensur Rinpoche was serving as abbot of Sera Je in 1990, he made a request to Lama Zopa Rinpoche to sponsor the food for Sera Je monks. It was a very practical request made to help all of the monks there at the time Lama Ösel entered the monastery. Khensur Rinpoche is now 91 years old and considered one of the great teachers at Sera Je. He counts many of the Kopan monks as his students.

Our grabbing ego made this body manifest, come out. However, instead of looking at it negatively, we should regard it as precious. We know that our body is complicated, but from the Dharma point of view, instead of putting ourselves down with self-pity, we should appreciate and take advantage of it. We should use it in a good way.
